Twin brothers Matt and Ryan Bewley, former five-star prospects who
signed to play basketball at Chicago State this season, sued the NCAA in
federal court after they were denied eligibility for receiving
money they say was generated from their name, image and likeness
while competing for Overtime Elite Academy.
The federal antitrust lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court
in Chicago, accuses the NCAA of violating its own NIL policies, the
Illinois Student-Athlete Endorsement Rights Act and federal
antitrust laws.
The brothers, who lived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, before
competing for Overtime Elite Academy in Atlanta, are seeking a
temporary restraining order and injunction from a federal judge to
compete for Chicago State, which opens the season Monday at Bowling Green.
